Third Release of MV4th16 Ver 0.92
With version 0.92 MV4th16 has become a stand alone development environment. MV4th16 no longer supports the use of Parallax spin code after start up, instead all code is now written in MV4th16 forth and Propeller chip assembly language. MV4th16 forth has been reworked to add; better Propeller chip integration, faster compile and execution speed, better use of limited chip global memory, faster base I/O functions, auto run at start up, as well as many changes and bug fixes to the core library. Some of the key changes are listed in the article MV4th16 Version 0.92 .
